How is a student's lexile determined from the SOL test?
Explain in lay terms how the lexile rating of a passage is determined.
Does complicated sentence structure play any part in determining the lexile?
Does the lexile level of a book take into account, in any way, the maturity or age-appropriate level of a book?
How can the lexile level of students who are below third grade be determined; or, in other words, how can the lexile level of students who are too young to have taken the SOL test be determined?
Does your company do any studies on reading motivation and reading level and how to reconcile the two when there is a great divergence between the two?
What are some ways that elementary, middle, and high school teachers, librarians, and parents can use the lexiles to promote reading growth and understanding of content?
Do you have any suggestions for librarians, teachers, and/or parents for concerns that knowing the lexile level of a book and of a student might become such a rigid thing that it might actually harm reading motivation, and, therefore, growth in reading development?
Do you have any research that shows whether or not writers tend to write at the same lexile level in their different books?
